GOING: H(8)

The Man Walk Torquay Maiden Plate 1425m Track: Heavy 8 Rain (Max: 12) Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.
Genuine tempo with French Gift leading the way. FRENCH GIFT (5) returned last time with a solid second at Pakenham over 1400m after being in contention on the corner. The winner of that race won at Caulfield on Wednesday and he's proven on a Heavy track, so any rain would not hurt. AQUA STORM (2) ran well first up at Swan Hill and is probably better suited up to 1400m here, but that's now three starts for three defeats as a short-priced, so punters might be a bit shy going again. BARKING MAD (3) is a maiden galloper resuming from a spell after finishing seventh over 1850m at Newcastle at the latest appearance on January 24. Fitter for two trials, placing most recently and looks sure to be competitive even if he'll be better over further. ZETHEROS (8) was beaten a long neck into second at Stawell two starts ago then finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at Donald. Not far off a win and rates highly on his best form. ALLUMEUSE (1) jumps to 1400m after a couple of runs at 1100m, so might improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: French Gift to win.
